Well, I guess I'll go ahead and lay my case before the tribunal here.

So the Raidraptors and Icarus Attack are way too thematically appropriate for a character who came too close to Core secrets, was banished, and are now seeking a revolution to change the system. I don't really want to change those.

And I get that HFD seems like a big blow-out card, but also consider that if you get locked down or stunned by your opponent's backrow and you have no way of getting out of it, it just feels really terrible and not very exciting to watch either. That's actually happened to me in RPs in the past, so I always try to sign up with a few backrow removal here or there. Also I will say that one, I was under the impression we're mostly doing PvE anyway, and two, I think we all have some sort of power card that seems really strong at first glance.

Alright to break this down, As I was on the fence about IA, and with you having it, it also technically counts as backrow removal. I mean if what your looking for is a way to sweeper the opponents backrow, other cards do exist that sweep it (but not as hard) like twin twister, In all the cases where your going to be locked down, they are usually going to be protecting the backrow anyway (hence why its a lock) thus the power of feather duster isn't really a "But this is my answer to locks" as it was just going to get negated anyway.

So on the flipside you got a 'get out of lock for 1 card' but also you can easily use it to completely skew a duel by removing a player whom say is already on the backfoot from your initial plays. It's a card that in the cases where you want to use it, you can't use it (Because if its an S/T lock who wouldn't run protection for it), And the other cases for it. It does too much.

If quickplay effects (monsters) were more abudant I would be onboard. But they aren't and as such the Spell/trap zone becomes that much more important to not be instantly blown-out. [s]Imagine If I app'd a Raigeki this early, the feels bad would be similar due to how easily it strips away my opponents defense.[/s]
